Nissan Magnite Facelift Variants Explained

One of the most popular subcompact SUVs, the Nissan Magnite has got a refresh with new design updates and additional features. It was launched at an introductory price starting from Rs. 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India), and it has been almost four years since it first made an appearance in the Indian market. This story shall help you conclude which variant you should choose according to your requirements.

Engine and Transmission Options

There are two petrol engine options available with the Nissan Magnite facelift. They are as follows:

1.0-litre Petrol (Naturally Aspirated): This engine gets either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT transmission and produces 71.01bhp of power and 96Nm of torque. The mileage is a decent one as the fuel efficiency can go up to 19.4 to 19.7 km/l.

1.0-litre Turbo Petrol: The engine is more aggressive, a turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol, producing 98.63bhp. The manual variant develops 160Nm and the CVT gets 152Nm. The fuel efficiency for the turbo variants varies from 17.9 to 19.9 km/l depending on the transmission option.

Pros for Nissan Magnite Facelift

• This New Nissan Magnite is as bold as on the front side and boasts an excellent road presence; however, it does carry a weird boot lid spoiler that does not resemble well.
• The height clearance of 205mm is in second place, only after the Tata Nexon, giving this car better capability over rough roads.
• The 1.0-litre petrol and turbo-petrol engine variants deliver excellent mileage of between 17.9 and 19.9 km/l, which is amongst the best in class.
• Even the base variant carries out important features such as all power windows, 16-inch wheels, a rear wiper, a rear defogger, and an internally adjustable day/night mirror.
• 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol (MT), 1.0-litre turbo petrol (MT), and 1.0-litre turbo petrol (CVT), so that the customers are provided more than enough elbow room in terms of performance and driving style.
• The top variants are equipped with many premium features, such as a 360-degree camera, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), rear AC vents, LED headlamps, cruise control, and an LCD instrument cluster.

Disadvantages of Nissan Magnite Facelift

• The 16-inch wheels along with the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine may harm drivability and aggregate fuel efficiency due to the high mass in rotation.
• On account of the relatively smaller sales and service network of Nissan in India, after-sales service and maintenance might be a tad challenging in rural or lesser urban areas.
• The Magnite does not arrive with a diesel option, meaning it will be a problem for those who want to have a diesel model.
• Only top variants will have front armrests, rear AC vents, TPMS, and LED headlamps, which will be deprived of buyers who are trying to save.
